So a few days ago, my friend asked me to do a photoshoot of her for her new blog, Jentle Inspiration! I'm so excited to share a few of my favorite shots from the shoot. She's an upcoming fellow blogger, so stay tuned to her page as she slowly develops it and continues to show the adventures of her life.
If you're on a lookout for really good macarons, look no further than Laudurée! A French macaron is sweet and typically filled with flavored buttercream, ganache, or jam that is sandwiched between two merengue-based cookies. Normally I'm not a huge fan of them because most of the ones I've had are either too sweet for me or the consistency was not right. These are perfect - light, airy, and not too sweet. Laudurée bakeries were originally based in Paris, but they've expanded and there's two bakeries right in New York! If you ever happen to be in the city, give this place a visit and let me know what's your favorite flavors! I'm currently making my way through the different flavors :)
Happy Easter, everyone! There are so many wonderful things that come with today and I am so grateful to be able to spend it entirely with my family. For the past four years, I've spent Easter without them at Rutgers because unfortunately I've either had tons of work or huge midterms during the upcoming week. I'd attend church alone, miss the family Easter egg hunts and gatherings, and only "celebrate" via Skype. Even in the past, it was rare to have BOTH my parents have off for the entire Easter Sunday. So, this year was pretty special. I was able to celebrate it not only with my parents and brother, but also with Kyle, my cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents... the entire huge family I've missed so much. I hope everyone can reflect of the true meaning of this day. I wish all a very happy Easter, and whether you're spending it with your family or not, know that you are never alone.
